Darrang, July 26, 2024: In a significant breakthrough, police in Darrang district, Assam, have uncovered a child trafficking operation following the rescue of a child who had been sold for 35,000 rupees.
The case emerged when Nayan Jyoti Dev Kashyap, a resident of Kalaigaon, was arrested for allegedly selling one of his partner’s children without her knowledge. Kashyap had recently relocated to Gerimari, Mangaldoi, after meeting a woman with four children through social media.
